I get this letter from the dealer
quote "thank you for your recent visit to our service department our records indicate your full factory warranty expires in a few days. ba,ba ,ba, ba
if you are interested in extending your factory warranty please give me a call.,, " ,,,, ----------------------------------in all the years and owning close to 500 cars in my life i have never had a extended warranty because i coulkd fix them my self,,, but now with this new stuff on the cars and my crossfire ,, I am thinking if it is worth it and if yes,then which one . thanks in advance for your help. I spoke to them today they are offering the full factory warranty bumper to bumper just like when the car was new it cost $1500.00 and has a $100.00 deductable is it worth it? jim

If your car is still under warranty you can buy a full factory extended warranty from MB (through the dealer), these are very comprehensive, up to 100k miles or 3-4 additional years, and no deductable.

I would buy the MB original warranty without question, once the new car warranty runs out, you can no longer purchase it, since it is an extension.
